Johannesburg - The Uprising Youth Development – a Limpopo based non-profit organisation (NPO) – has vowed to challenge any party or individuals who claim they are recipients of a R5.5 million donation from the National Lottery Commission (NLC) despite not having a bank account.
Uprising Youth Development spokesperson Bilaal Gunguwo made the threat after the Social Development Minister Lindiwe Zulu – in her reply to parliamentary questions by the DA – said the NPO has failed to provide her department with financially audited statements for 2018 and 2020.
Zulu made the reply after the DA’s deputy spokesperson on trade and industry Mat Cuthbert asked the minister to furnish him with the constitution and founding statements of the NPO, including names and other details of office bearers.
